Reading Buddies

Big Idea

Twice each week, our volunteer Big Buddies pair up with their Little Buddy students to read together for 30 minutes. The Big Buddy’s job is to be a coach and role model whose love of books is contagious — and maybe even life-changing — for the Little Buddy. Over the course of the program, students gain confidence, boost reading skills, and increase their fluency and comprehension.
